Stock Analytic Rule

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/account-analytic Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This module extends the stock and analytic accounting capabilities by automatically creating analytic lines from stock based on configurable rules.

Key features:

The module is useful for organizations needing precise analytic accounting for inventory movements, such as manufacturing, logistics, or services.

Table of contents

Usage

  1. Configure Product Categories

Navigate to Inventory > Configuration > Product Categories.

For each relevant product category, configure the following fields:

  • Average Price: Base cost per unit.
  • Average Weight: Used to scale the cost relative to quantity.
  • Supplement: Additional surcharge applied on top of base cost.

Custom Computation for Internal Moves

If Custom Computation for Internal Moves is enabled, specific values can be defined for internal transfers.

When this option is checked, the following fields appear:

  • Average Price for Internal Moves
  • Average Weight for Internal Moves

These values will be used instead of Average Price and Average Weight when calculating the total amount for internal stock moves.

These values are used when the compute type is set to Category.

  1. Define Analytic Accounts and Plans

Navigate to Accounting > Configuration > Analytic Accounting.

  • Create one or more Analytic Plans.
  • Create Analytic Accounts linked to these plans.

These accounts will be referenced in the analytic distribution logic of each model.

  1. Create Stock Analytic Rules

Navigate to Accounting > Configuration > Stock Analytic Rules.

Configure each rule with:

  • Name: Used as the label for the generated analytic lines.
  • Source Locations and Destination Locations: Determines when the model applies.
  • Amount Compute Type: Choose between:
    • Product – uses the product’s list price.
    • Category – uses the category’s formula (avg_price × weight × qty) + (weight × qty × supplement).
  • Analytic Distribution (for positive lines)
  • Negative Analytic Distribution (for negative lines)
  • Financial Account: Used in the generated analytic line.

📌 Note: The distribution for reversed moves (e.g. returns) is automatically computed by inverting the accounts — no need to define a separate rule.

  1. Perform a Stock Move

Create a Transfer that matches the configured rule:

  • It can be internal, delivery, or receipt.
  • Ensure the source and destination locations match the analytic rule.
  1. Review Analytic Lines

Navigate to Accounting > Accounting > Analytic Lines.

You should now see the automatically generated analytic lines reflecting the cost and distribution defined in your model.
